Nexus 6 Unlocked XT1103

Summary

Unlocked Nexus 6 32 GB w/ OEM cable and power brick, box, manuals, nice Spigen case.

I am a trusted seller. Please read my feedback if you have doubts. I have been with Swappa for about 6 and a half years without incident and I always try to error on the side of caution. Where some sellers may claim a phone is "good", I would list it as fair just to be safe. I also have other Samsung phones on here (S5 and S4) if you're interested.

This phone is carrier unlocked. Carrier unlocked means you can use it on any compatible GSM carrier. Please do your research to make sure your network is compatible before purchasing to make sure this phone has the bands compatible with your network.

I bought this off a friend and used it for about two years as my personal phone. I'm listing it as fair because of the corner wear and x piece missing from back, not because of the screen. You might notice in the pictures the bottom right part of the X is missing in the Nexus logo. The silver letters are stickers or something and I think the x got caught, so now it says Neyus. Replacement backs can be bought on eBay for cheap.

There is back wear and corner wear on the bezel. The phone is still rigid and doesn't have any flex or give anywhere. The battery still lasts about a workday depending on usage--your mileage may vary. This phone was bought in Mar. 2015 so keep that in mind with the battery as it's the original.

Overall, the screen looks great with only minor scratches. I have had a glass screen protector on it for two years.

Also I don't know if it's just me but it seemed like the signal icon would jump up and down all the time, but I also read it was happening to others online after one of the updates for it. I installed a signal strength app and it would always stay about the same, but the signal icon on the status bar would jump around like mad sometimes. I also installed a ping app and never saw any packet loss or had dropped calls and didn't experience any when using the device but I did think it was odd. I think the signal bar icon is just not accurate and it's that simple (see pictures). Another feature/bug maybe that was introduced with Nougat? May only effect AT&T LTE which is what I use. Anyway, the signal is as good as on my OnePlus 3T having used both.

Lastly, the vibration motor is a bit loud and slightly rattely from what I'm used to with other phones. I guess it's a design "feature" because it's that way on a ton, if not all Nexus 6's from what I read online and on XDA and Reddit. Just to be clear the phone itself doesn't rattle when you shake it--just the vibration is loud.

All that said, the phone works well. I just wanted something with a fingerprint reader since we now have an MDM at work.

I bought a Spigen gray and clear tpu/plastic backed case. I'm including the box, manuals, and OEM power brick and cable.
